Ready-to-Assay OXGR1 alpha-Ketoglutarate Receptor Frozen Cells

Descrição detalhada : Millipore's Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response. OXGR1 (also known as GPR99 or GPR80) was originally identified as an orphan with a sequence most closely related to P2Y receptors. Studies to deorphanize OXGR1 revealed that alpha-ketoglutarate activates OXGR1 through Gq to increase intracellular calcium (He et al., 2004; Qi et al., 2004; Abbracchio et al., 2005). The EC50 of OXGR1 for alpha-ketoglutarate is in the muM range, similar to the concentration of alpha-ketoglutarate in the circulation, indicating that the interaction is physiologically significant. Millipore's cloned human OXGR1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant OXGR1-expression on the cell surface for functional detection via the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists, and modulators at OXGR1.
